Turn off or turn on Download Intelligence
Download Insight protects your computer against any unsafe file that you may run or execute
after you download it using a supported browser. By default, the Download Intelligence option
is turned on. In this case, Download Insight notifies you about the reputation levels of any
executable file that you download. The reputation details that Download Insight provides
indicate whether the downloaded file is safe to install.
There may be times when you want to turn off Download Insight. For example, if you want to
download an unsafe file. In this case, you must turn off Download Insight so that your Norton
product lets you download the file and does not remove it from your computer.
You can use the Download Intelligence option to turn off or turn on Download Insight.
